Akita JALT:

Social Aspects of Communication and Their Relationship to Teaching English as a Second Language

Date: Saturday, May 25th, 2002 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: R. Jeffrey Ringer, Ph.D.

Description:
Most people think of communication as the transfer of information from one person to another. But communication is also a social process in that it is through language and talk that humans relate to each other. Insults and put-downs not only convey the speaker's thoughts to another person but they also attempt to situate the speaker as being better in some way than the other. In this presentation, Ringer briefly describes the social dynamics of communication and why he believes teachers of English as a second language need to recognize them.
